This is not an official announcement, as I'm sure most of you already heard via bvd fb, zoot stream or the grape vine - but for those who dont, I'm pleased to announce that [nDc] Ph4ntom and bvd Detrony will be travelling to Sweden to represent South Africa at Dream Hack Winter Quake Live Tournament!!!!!!!!!!! O-M-F-G! This is the first time a South african Quaker has been abroad since 2006. Its the first time ever that 2 have been abroad at the same time.

With this comes costs, both Stephen and Dimitri have gotten sponsors to take care of the biggest expense - their flights. But the rest is somewhat limited. With OUR HELP we can make their experience a lot more worthwhile.

Other expences that need to be considered:

Travel to/from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Jonkoping (between R1000 and R3000 depending if we take a bus, train or fly)

Entrance to the event (approximately R800 each) 550SEK which can be paid upon arrival at the event

Accomodation (We are still checking but this seems to be very expensive... first impressions were around R9000 for a single room to sleep both of us so around R4500 each)

Taxi fare (to/from the Elmia Expo Centre and our hotel room; Not sure on the amount, probably a couple hundred each if it's not within walking distance)

Stephen is also investigating the options of renting a car at the airport in Stockholm for the 5 days that they are there so they have their own transport. Might work out cheaper in terms of travelling to/from Jonkoping if you take all the taxi fares into consideration.

Visa is R780 for myself. Dimi has an EU passport and therefore doesn't need a Visa.

Medical aid travel cover (R200 once off per person)

Food/drinks

If you're wanting to help our boys financially, please do the following:

Please email your name and alias to myself m4nimal @ xtcgaming . co . za along with the proof of payment, so I can track who deposited what and when and not have to pester Stephen every hour for an update.

DreamHack is around the corner and two Springboks will be jetting off soon... Would be great to have a braai/get together for the whole community up here in JHB/PTA to send them off in style, with a little extra cash in hand... I'm a useless organiser and know too few of you to pull this off, but if someone is keen, this would be mad...
